Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League campaign began disastrously with a 3-0 defeat at Brentford’s Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday. Roberto De Zerbi’s side conceded early when Keane Lewis-Potter opened the scoring in the 12th minute, followed by Vitaly Janelt’s goal just before halftime. Michael Kayode sealed the comprehensive victory for the home side after the interval, leaving Tottenham with a disappointing result in their season opener.
Individual performances were largely subdued across De Zerbi’s lineup. Defender Marcos Senesi emerged as the standout player, receiving a rating of 7.5 out of 10 for his defensive contributions. Midfielder Lucas Bergvall struggled significantly, earning just a 5 out of 10 after committing a costly error. Other notable performers included left-back Andy Robertson, who managed a 7 for his energetic play, while winger Mathys Tel earned 6.5 despite failing to find the back of the net.
The remainder of the squad delivered underwhelming showings across the pitch. Midfielder Sandro Tonali, forward Richarlison, and playmaker James Maddison all received ratings of 6, while substitute Conor Gallagher was withdrawn at halftime after a similarly uninspiring display. Goalkeeper Kinsky made several saves but could not prevent the three-goal concession, as Tottenham’s highly anticipated new era got off to a troubling start.
